sorry, posted in the wrong thread!

When growing in soil how often do you give nutes and how much? What kinds of nutes?

i use foxfarm nutes, starting at 1/4 strength on week 3

from there watch your plants and see how they react, then raising to full strength...every other watering.

sounds good thank you sir...

are we there yet are we there yet are we there yet

no not yet, but i did cut two tops to practice drying..

trichs are still more clear/cloudy and buds have new growth...crazy

ok..so i cut then trimmed the leaves and placed in a shoe box with many 1/8" holes poked through the top and bottom for ventilation. then placed in the top of the grow room, very little, little light may get in...idk, thinking the humidity was perfect 45-50% and the exhaust fan would help with the curing. the only thing is the temps 82-85 lights on, 72-75 lights off. after 3-4 days when bending the tops the stem snapped and off to the containers...how long until the buds loose that fresh cut grass smell...lol...stinks in a bad way !! when will they smell right.

be nice this is all new to me....drying and curing

i made it this far, i dont want to screw this up........thanks all

'S for everyone

i hang mine in a closet, i open the door a couple times a day for fresh air. you can also use a screen tray. some people build dry boxes with carbon fans and the works.

i hang mine in the closet...... then into canning jars after the outer of the bud is crispy but the stems bend but dont snap. sweat in the jars, opening a couple times a day. leaving the lid off if they get to moist for a while. after two or three weeks you will have nicely cured buds. they really do change through this whole process.

Believe me, even when i had enough, in my country it would still be gone before it had dried properly.

We're heading for another drought.

same here. even though i live in cali, we run out of pot!!!! i personally dont have any right now and will take another month or so before my outdoor is done.

friday the 13th will be the day of the axe...

trichs were more cloudy today so...

today i cut all the fan leaves hoping the plants put all there energy into saving there fruit.......let me know good or bad...idk

as this being my first time i have learned a lot with trial and error

i promise next will be better, but im pleased for a 400hps and first timer...lol

i still have my LST girl that seems to be 2 weeks behind, i will let her continue but she needs to hurry. i have others waiting..

here are a few pics

Great going. Are you going to consider getting any more light? You know, it's not about how many plants you have, unless you're growing SOG.

You've done great for your first time. A successful harvest is always good news.

more light is on the way..

and for the end of harvest, should i give them a couple days of no light and cool temps in the room ?

and taking the fan leaves o.k. ? thanks for the help skunk !!!

You talking while the bud is still on the plant and turning off the lights for the final 48 hours? No, don't do that. If anything you'd be better off giving them 48 hours of light. More light equals more bud. I usually leave my lights on for 24 hours the day before harvest.

Personally I never remove healthy fan leaves. These are the plant's main recepticle for gathering light. The last few days i will remove the smaller fan leaves, but the big ones stay until I chop the plant down.

thanks again skunk for the great info...........ill learn

off to flush with plain water for the last time...

How's the trimming and harvesting and drying going?

i did as said cut, trimmed and hung on the 13th

the buds are getting extremely sticky...

sorry for the cell pics, they are hanging in the room with temps at 70-75f, 45-50rh, with the vent system running

the other pic is one that i took tops off of little over a week ago and now in the jar...curring nicely..

these buds are covered in red hairs with a sweet/skunky smell...

not to bad...bring on the new toy:600 W MH HPS Digital Ballast Air Cooled Reflector Bulb , its on its way to grow the PAPAYA / NL..no more bag seed

just a few more buds that are heading to the jars..
